Nova 5 · Instructional design to the power of AI
Learning people do, not learning people sit through.
Role plays, simulations, interactive video and coached practice — contextualised to your industry and your learner, delivered live. The most effective kind of learning is no longer the most expensive.

The problem
The great disengagement.
Learners are switching off — not because people got lazier, but because most learning is passive content they sit through or click past. Attention drops, skills never transfer, and the same disengagement follows them into workplace training. Completion is a proxy, not proof: courses get finished while the behaviour the training was meant to change does not.
Disengaged learners do not learn. Engaged learners complete, and competency follows. Nova makes learning worth engaging with.
What Nova is
The intelligent engine and delivery platform for next generation instructional design.
Not a content generator, not an authoring tool, not an LMS. Nova sits above all three: it reads knowledge like a learning designer, decides what is worth turning into practice, builds the right activity across audio, video, visual and guided interaction, and delivers that experience live — on a hosted link, as an app on their phone, or through your existing LMS. Nothing to replace, everything to gain.
It works for accredited and non-accredited training alike. Every experience is generated from your training products and mapped to the elements, performance criteria and evidence requirements of every unit on your scope.Every experience is generated from your programmes and mapped to your unit standards, skill standards and graduate profile outcomes, ready for moderation. For short courses, induction, compliance and workplace training, Nova maps to your own learning outcomes instead.
Reads your source material like an instructional designer. Identifies the concepts worth turning into practice, each with a rationale and a priority.
Chooses the right activity for each concept from twenty types, in the right modality, scaffolded into a coherent learn it, try it, show it arc.
The AI plays the counterpart by voice, coaches beside every activity, narrates the video, and the simulations respond to what the learner does. Live, from a link.
What Nova creates
Twenty ways to turn knowledge into practice.
The role play where the AI is the difficult customer. The sim where what you chose an hour ago comes back to bite. The video that explains it in your voice. Practice that coaches you as you go — chosen for the concept, not the template.

Progress grows a visible skyline — one bar per unit, rising as the learner practises. Formative by design, never a mark. Everything runs from a single link, no accounts — on a phone it installs as an app in two taps. Open the live demo space ↗
New in Nova 5
A training advisor on hand, 24 hours a day.
Learners upload a test or a mock assessment. Nova returns structured formative feedback to their inbox, instantly: what is strong, what is missing, and what to do next, criterion by criterion. The feedback arrives at 11pm on a Sunday, as often as they want to try again — mapped to the same outcomes their qualification requires.
- Formative, never a judgement — your assessors keep every competency decision
- Structured against the criteria, so learners see the gap rather than guess at it
- Fewer resubmissions, less marking — work arrives closer to competent the first time

Nova Classroom
The same experiences, run live in the room.
Pulse checks, group exercises, quizzes, games and branching scenarios — the trainer runs them from the front, learners join on their phones, and the room sees the result together. Built on the same Nova engine, mapped to the same outcomes.

The engine
Nova 5. Our most powerful engine yet.
The world's best models can hold a conversation. Nova 5 knows how to turn that into practice that teaches. Nova is the capability; the number tracks the technology it stands on. As the frontier improves, Nova iterates — and everything built on it improves with it, without re-platforming.
And it learns from delivery: live learner feedback retargets competency gaps, sharpens what engages, and advances the formative learning underneath.

How it works
From knowledge to a live experience, in four moves.
Understand
Nova reads your source material like a learning designer and maps the concepts worth turning into practice, each with a rationale and a priority.
Design
It chooses the right high-fidelity experience for each concept, in the right modality, scaffolded into a coherent path. New program designs get a human sign-off.
Deliver
It builds and runs the experience: plays the role by voice, coaches beside every activity, narrates the video. All from a single link.
Prove
AI quality review on every experience, human approval wherever review is not certain, and everything mapped to outcomes and competencies.
Ask for a change in a sentence. Nova rebuilds it. No authoring tools, ever.
